I’m pretty sure this is NSFW because the only words I can understand are “fook” and “wankstain”. Presumably, Andrew is still on the roof.

Bear in mind that this is one of those things that they could call a “British Accent”.

I can actually make out most of it, but there are stretches where he might as well be speaking Elvish.

Klingon is better.

I think the British would find that offensive. And the Scotsman would probably be offended by being called British.

I’d try to learn some if I had time.

Scotland is in (the island of) Britain and short of cutting themselves off and being towed out into the Atlantic there’s nothing they can do about it!

Many people in America talk about a “British” accent when what they usually mean is an English one and typically a particular English one (SE, London or thereabouts)

People in Glasgow, London, Liverpool and Cardiff all by definition have “British” accents even they vary by more than those from any part of America.

Well, Scotland certainly tried to cut themselves off, at least politically, but failed. Although there are many who claim that the referendum was rigged. Honestly, I’m a bit confused by your statement, though I think I know what you are getting at. It sounds like you are saying that people in London have an English accent, while everybody else has a British accent. But I don’t think that was your intent. I can usually differentiate between an Irish, Scottish, Welsh or English accent (but don’t ask me to pronounce anything in Welsh beyond “Cardiff” and “Jones”). I think Americans use “English accent” and “British accent” interchangeably, but yes, the accents do vary widely all across the British Isles. My wife works with two colleagues who are from different ends of London and they both speak quite differently.

What I was getting at is that some people, in America in particular, describe an English accent as “British” whereas an equally British accent like that of Andrew and his pal wouldn’t be thought of as British.

Anyways, have some Guy Martin

But why is Andrew’s accent British and not Scottish? If I hear that accent in the street I would know immediately that he is a Scotsman. And while Scotland is part of Great Britain, it’s still technically its own country. I think if I told Andrew that I couldn’t understand his British accent, he would tell me he’s Scottish.

That Guy Martin interview was damn near unintelligible.
